Welcome to Blandings Castle, a location that is never itself without an imposter.

Wodehouse himself once noted that “Blandings has impostors like other houses possess mice.” On this particular occasion you will find two, both purpose on a dangerous enterprise. Lord Emsworth’s secretary, the Efficient Baxter, can be over the alert and identified to discover what’s afoot-despite the distractions due to the Honorable Freddie Threepwood’s hapless affair of the heart.

Freddie is engaged to marry the little girl of the wealthy American who is a passionate collector of ancient Egyptian scarabs. When one goes missing, a thousand-pound praise is offered because of its return and Blandings becomes a madhouse as friends turn rivals in the scramble to retrieve the object.
